Help define the roadmap and vision for observability and developer productivity, aligning with business and engineering needs.
Design, implement, and operate monitoring and logging infrastructure, ensuring robust visibility into system health and performance.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks that enable fast, safe deployments and improve developer workflows.
Collaborate with other engineering and product teams to drive cross-functional initiatives and ensure reliability and efficiency are embedded into our services.

Hands-on expertise in observability practices and tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) and familiarity with SRE principles.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) and Infrastructure as Code practices.
Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP) and container orchestration (Kubernetes), and experience building scalable systems.
Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working across teams (development, QA, product).
Passion for automation, reliability, and developer efficiency, with a mindset of continuous improvement.
Preferred (Not Essential)
Experience leading DevOps/SRE transformations or implementing reliability engineering practices at scale.
